Winemaker’s Notes
In the glass, the wine presents with vibrant yellow and green hues. Aromas of mountain river wet stone and fresh lemon lime citrus blend with an ocean spray. On the palate, flavors of grapefruit, lime zest, and an everlasting fresh citrus. This is a beautifully textured wine, combining a rich mouth feel with minerality.
Winemaking
After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the sauvignon blanc and sémillon were harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. The fruit was received in the cellar separately, where the grapes were pressed to tanks and immediately chilled and settled prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurred in separate concrete tanks exclusively at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed after 4 months of sur-lies maturation to capture the lovely fresh qualities and flavor intensity of the sauvignon blanc.
